While plenty of people older than age of 8 know that the Pocahontas and John Smith love story is just a myth, and kind of a gross one considering he was 27 when he encountered the 10- or 11-year old girl, Smith's real-life story hasn't gotten much attention outside of academic circles.
But the genuine Capt. John Smith had more effect on the trajectory of history than any two-dimensional animated version could ever hope to. "He was one of the very most important people in early English colonization," says Karen Ordahl Kupperman, Silver professor of history emerita at New York University and editor of "Captain John Smith, A Select Edition of His Writings.
" "His image has endured for all the wrong reasons. " Popular culture seized on the event with Pocahontas, but his interactions with her were the least important among his accomplishments.

It came from a 10-year-old boy born to a drug-addicted mother, with an Individualized Education Plan thicker than an encyclopedia—a boy with permanent scars along the side of his left arm from a beating with an extension cord when he was three. Kyle [*name changed] taught me the one and only thing I really needed to know about loving a child through the challenges of life.
This is my story … Autobiography - Alice Ouzounian. History of the Hyperlink. Today we talked about many different kinds of interactive experiences—both digital and non-digital.
In discussing the digital realm, we identified environmental, non-linear navigation, avatar-based games and community/collaborative interactive types. Probably the most pervasive source of interactive experiences today is the Internet. And at the heart of those experiences is the hyperlink (in the form of hypertext and hypermedia).

For years inventions have extended man's physical powers rather than the powers of his mind. Trip hammers that multiply the fists, microscopes that sharpen the eye, and engines of destruction and detection are new results, but not the end results, of modern science.
